Liquid Dezcal Activated Descaler, 33.6 Ounce

My favourite brand for those kind of things

Prodotto restituito perché nella descrizione non c'era scritto ma sulla confezione portava la scritta non adatto per acciaio , quindi inutilizzabile per la mia macchinetta del caffe

This stuff works GREAT! I was able to descale two Technivorm Moccamasters, one of which hadn't been descaled in a long time obviously. Just one application for each of them worked great. It was sent quickly and arrived in good shape. For some people the 10 percent of total water is difficult to figure out. I think that the directions on the bottle could be made a little less intimidating. I decided to measure in cups the amount of water for each reservoir, in my case each one is 40 oz. Each reservoir takes about 6 cups. So that means slightly less than 5 1/2 cups of water to slightly more than 1/2 cup of the solution. I mixed it in a bowl first and then added to the reservoir. The solution worked very quickly and made an visual difference while it was still processing in the machines. Also, with the cost of the Technivorm it is important to follow their instructions and recommendations. Since they recommend Urnex Dezcal I felt safe in using it. I decided to purchase the liquid just to make sure that dissolving the product would not be an issue. I still have 8 more applications in the bottle so it should last a long time! Great stuff and I highly recommend!

This was purchased specifically to descale a ProBoil 3-in-1 hot water tap water tank, which automatically shuts down when needing to be descaled. It’s out of warranty now ,and the manufacturers own descaler was out of stock for quite some time. To preserve the ProBoil warranty, they say to use their descaler, and one 200ml bottle of their premixed solution costs more than the cost of this concentrated Urnex Dezcal liquid. The manufacturers solution is made using the Urnex Dezcal liquid, so I was delighted to find the concentrate on Amazon. We have very hard water and have previously used 2 bottles of the manufacturers solution for one descale. The Dezcal needs to be diluted with water, one part Dezcal to 10 parts water, and you need to wear protective gloves and goggles whilst handling it, and to ventilate the room. The Urnex website provides all the details on how to use it and what it can be used on. I will certainly stick to using this for all my future descaling of my ProBoil 3, and kettle. I think it should also be ok to clean my coffee machine too, although Urnex do have a range of products to also clean coffee machines and milk frothers. Our ProBoil manual suggests the unit needs to be on and water temperature at 80 degrees when adding the descaler. Ours just switches off so the water in the boiler tank cools down, and it will not turn back on until descaled. The unit stopped working a couple of months ago so we reverted to using a kettle, which also showed signs of limescale build up. With the boiler switched off, I drained off some of the now cold water from the bottom tap using the drain hose, then re closed the tap. I made up a 400ml water/ 40ml Dezcal solution, disconnected the cooled vent hose and slowly poured most of the mixture into the boiler tank. The Dezcal solution must not be left in the unit or kettle for more than 30 minutes. I was concerned that the water in the tank was cold so maybe this would not work. Around 30 minutes reconnect the vent hose, then drain the unit into a bowl by opening the bottom tap connected to the drain hose. Reclose the bottom tap once unit is drained, switch boiler back on and allow to refill and reheat to 80 degrees. When switched back on, the boiler came back to life. At this point, drain the water from the tank using the hot key, so the water drains out via the kitchen tap. Switch the boiler back off, and again drain remaining water from the unit’s bottom tap through the drain hose into a bowl. Close the drain tap, and store the hose away. Switch boiler back on and allow it to refill and reheat, then drain the boiler again using the hot key so that the water flows out of the kitchen tap. It is suggested the unit is drained twice, but I did it 3 times. The boiler is now happily working again, and I have plenty of the Dezcal concentrate for future descaling. I used up the remaining made-up solution by pouring it into an empty kettle and leaving it for 30 minutes. They do say to ventilate the room when descaling, as some odour may be given off. You could see the limescale immediately lift of the base of the kettle and start to dissolve, and the kettle looked completely clean inside after the descale. Empty the kettle, then fill and boil the kettle a couple of times to rinse out the descaler solution before reuse. This stuff is fantastic!

We upgraded our coffee pot and it will tell us when it needs to be descaled. Product works well. Clears out the minerals on the first run. Then we run water through the pot several times to clear out any potential residue. Doesn't leave an aftertaste like vinegar (seemed like it took forever to run through enough times to get out the taste) Like the product. Works well. While not a cheap product, I like how well it cleans, no aftertaste n the bottle lasts a long time. Reordered. Would recommend.
